Painted Portrait #25

This work resulted as a study of black skin and the way how shade area comes to light. At the end of the day I wasn't looking for 100% likeness with the original model Therell but rather tried to capture a realistic male portrait. Interesting fact is that I was not restricting myself in colours this time and the overall painting process was quite "rough" compare to regular very smooth drawings that I do usually. But the result was a quite interesting and I didn't spend as much time as usually.

Drawing time: 3 hours.
